Void, pre-let and stock condition inspection

Voids are where cost leaks: works specified that were not needed, works needed that were not specified, rechargeable damage that never got evidenced properly enough to recharge, and properties signed off as ready that come straight back.

An independent inspection at the front and back ends of that process gives you an evidenced record of what the property was like when it came in, what was ordered, and whether it was done to standard before it was let again.

What the inspection covers

• Pre-termination and end-of-tenancy condition inspection
• Void condition survey against your lettable standard, element by element
• Schedule of works with photographic evidence
• Rechargeable damage recorded and evidenced to a standard that will stand challenge
• Post-works quality inspection and independent sign-off before let
• Stock condition data collection to your own survey form and asset register fields
• Disrepair and damp and mould inspections, recorded factually with cause and recommendation kept separate

What you get

• A written report as a PDF, within 24 to 48 hours of the visit.
• Every item located precisely enough to find again — room, elevation, and a numbered photograph.
• Observation, cause and recommendation kept separate, so you can see what was seen and what is inferred.
• A clear statement of what was inspected, what was not, and why.
• Anything outside my competence recorded and referred to the right specialist, rather than guessed at.

Work for housing providers, managing agents and contractors is carried out to your form and your standard, not to a template of mine.
